Subarus

my reaction while reading all of DG film's posts.

Forester is a nice car. Perfect for a mom in my imo

we looked at them, they're actually a bit too small for a "mom" IMO. the legacy/outback is a better family car, the forester wasn't any bigger than my wife's old Sentra. We really needed the extra room in the back too.

15mpg in a forester is pretty awful though! my wife complains about getting 25mpg in hers.

can we continue talk about subarus?

i like how they look but haven't drove one. will be buying a newer car soon and enjoy reading discerning drivers opinions.

how are they to work on? ive heard they are pretty easy and straightforward

I haven't done much to ours but poking around it looks very, very easy - especially for a car built within the last decade. the oil filter is stupidly easy to get to, everything is basically in plain sight (starter? 2 bolts right under the car - plop!). I didn't find the spark plugs hard at all. It does have the typical Japanese car mess of random wires and hoses all over the place though.

Just wondering why as a moderator you decided to jump on the bandwagon and bash this guys car? Instead of putting a end to the thread before 11 pages of bandwidth were wasted. All the guy did was post some pics of his car and you guys start calling him out on stickers and carbon. Who gives a fuck? To each there own. Sounds like he has a decent stable of bmw's now.

He posted a picture of a stickered up faux rally car, what did you expect? a parade? it's like he was begging us to make fun of his car. :p

I got pulled on by a new Legacy Spec B this morning. I was very surprised (mind you I'm running giant snow tires)

I think I'd rather have that than an WRX or STi. More class and more of a sleeper.

How is a impreza WRX more of a sleeper than a legacy?

Even the Subaru guys call a USDM 1998-2001 coupe a GC. :???:

I try not to hate on any car. If it has decent handling/power, I'll take a look.

It's easier that way, even though there are different codes.

As far as I can remember going back about 5 years, at least to my knowledge, the whole "bro" thing was related to a tuner named Big Al at ICS Performance on the east coast. They make videos of tuning peoples cars and all you can hear is bro this, bro that. It got so bad that everyone would be saying we're going to get tuned by "bro" lol But they work on all types of cars so no general classification.

i pulled on a newer g35 to about 60 lol then he shit on me in my ej18

Not a WRX or STi , But I had a 97 Impreza AWD Coupe with a ej18 , yes 1.8 none turbo but that thing was a blast to drive. I got it for 1500 bux with 125k miles. Uber great gas mileage. Up graded clutch ,very clean engine. Only issue was very low trans ratio. 2nd gear redlining at 50 3rd at 70 and etc. Off the line it was great, even for a 1.8 . Cherpping 2nd in a awd is a WOW . Hitting a curved on ramp to the freeway with the front tires spinning WOW. Just wish I had this car when us in CA got all this crazy rain. Just my luck i picked up a leaking vert for rain ftl;

Id get another. But only a GC8 like i had b4.

Like a puppy who has soiled the rug that really tied the room together, he needed his nose rubbed in it to get the message.

I like STIs, but seriously, those stickers are hilarious. did you win a trophy for having the most gigantic & redundant stickers or something? :p

Colin McRae and Possum Bourne

RIP Colin and Possum:bow:

[Ray Smoodiver]

Oh, give it a rest, Ray. I'm only fucking around. Jesus, people on the internets are sensitive lately.

My stereotype is based on the majority of kids driving STIs on the west coast, mainly around here.

Fair enough, head pulled in.

Maybe we were just lucky to have our Subaru idols being Colin McRae and Possum Bourne blasting round forests at a million miles an hour :o

(so yea, every 20 something was wearing a huge blue puffer jacket and every car had 555 stickers)

[Subie2e30]

Really depends on what you're doing...

Bingo!

Normal everday maintaince is easy. It's when you start upgrading parts on/near the engine that get difficult, like an aftermarket turbo inlet or fuel rails.
